本课程将使您沉浸在开创性的研究中，并使您有机会为可能对后代产生重大影响的工作做出贡献。它提供了广泛的主题，使您可以在发展知识和研究技能的同时选择自己的专业。在头两年中，您将以与医学有关的单元（例如药理学，生理学和分子病理学）来补充对生物化学的研究。您的第三年侧重于生物化学的医学相关方面，例如与癌症，心血管疾病和药物设计有关的方面。您的最后一年的研究项目将涉及与国际知名科学家合作进行开创性工作。我们的学生最近合作开发了一种从人干细胞制造红细胞的技术，并且对抗生素进行了分子修饰，从而扩大了其可以治疗的感染范围
Biochemists study the molecular basis of life. This underpins our fundamental understanding of human health and disease and also supports applied science like drug discovery, diagnostics and biotechnology. Our Biochemistry course immerses you in ground-breaking research and gives you the opportunity to develop high-level analytical and problem-solving skills that prepare you for a diverse range of careers.<br><br>In your first two years you will supplement your study of biochemistry with units relevant to human health and disease such as pharmacology, physiology and molecular pathology. Your third year focuses on medically relevant aspects of biochemistry such as those relating to cancer, cardiovascular disease and drug design.<br><br>Your third-year research project will be affiliated with the work of our internationally-renowned scientists and will allow you to gain a deeper understanding by focusing on one particular aspect of biochemistry. These exciting projects include topics like the design of man-made proteins, discovering new drugs from the ocean floor, or understanding mechanisms of wound-healing.<br><br>We prepare you for your future career with subject-specific employability and enterprise sessions and the chance to gain additional research experience in a summer studentship. Recent graduate destinations from our biochemistry programmes include higher degrees such as MSc or PhD, the pharmaceutical industry, biotechnology companies, research institutes, the NHS, graduate medicine, teaching, forensics, the civil service, medical publishing, finance, business consultancy, patent law, science communications and more.
